MAY is a special time of year at RHS Rosemoor, and the bank holiday is a great opportunity to take the family for an inspirational walk around the garden.

More than 50,000 spring bulbs have been planted in the meadow areas throughout the garden, and have now developed into season-long sweeps of colour.

Lady Anne's Garden is the home of colourful rhododendrons, magnolias and cherries, while the woodland walks provide a wonderful selection of wildflowers and the fruit and vegetable garden boasts abundant blossom from a wealth of fruit trees.

For an additional treat Rosemoor is having a three-day craft fair from Saturday May 5 until May 7. There will be an abundance of stalls featuring a range of crafts from the talent of the West Country.
